It is always pleasant when a mechanic praises your car - I suppose the vast majority of cars are merely a tool for people so they aren't exactly lavished with care. In fairness if I owned a Ssangyong I wouldn't want to spend much time looking after it.
It's true that the GTI, however imperfect, really does have some sort of 'soul' and this makes me want to look after it.
